Manchester United midfielder, Juan Mata seemed to have been unimpressed by Raheem Sterling’s conduct when the flamboyant forward appeared to run down the clock by showboating during The Red Devil’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of City on Sunday evening.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has slammed Paul Pogba for his comments in the aftermath of the 3-2 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion. The France international started the campaign with a man of the match performance against Leicester City but he could not replicate the showing at the South Coast, where United were mediocre with the defensive side of their game.

Speaking after the Brighton defeat, Pogba suggested that the team lacked the hunger to compete against the Seagulls but Scholes has now criticised the comments made by the France international, he said: “I hope that is lost in translation. There is no defence for that comment. You say it to yourself, don’t you? You’re constantly saying to yourself: ‘Attitude right, make sure it’s right.’ You don’t need other people to tell you. You don’t need a manager to tell you that or your team-mates. There’s a lack of leaders in the team. We thought Paul Pogba might be the ideal candidate to be that leader but he wasn’t there today. He had another really poor game. He’s so inconsistent.”Continue reading Paul Scholes slams ‘inconsistent’ Paul Pogba after Brighton defeat

The game will reach half-time with the score 1-0. However, Jose Mourinho will make changes to its formation during the break, and this will allow the Red Devils to come back strongly after the break.
